Which number line shows all the values of x that make the inequality -3x + 1 < 7 true
1 answer:
After solving the equation (work shown in image) your answer would be x > -2. I drew an image of how the number line should look at least similar to, using the solution.
*whenever you divide or multiply with a negative number reverse/flip the sign
< or > signs will always have an open circle
≥ or ≤ signs will have a closed/filled in circle
TIP: To know which way the arrow should point, look at the sign and think of it as an arrow.
< would have the arrow on the number point
this way: <-
or > which would have the arrow on the number line point this way: ->

we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx
so
That means it's the equation of a line passing through the origin.
case a) and case d) are discarded because the line does not pass through the origin
<u>case b) we have</u>
for x=2 y=4
y/x=k-------> 4/2=2------> k=2
y=2x-------> in this case the value of y is two times the value of x
<u>case c) we have</u>
for x=4 y=2
y/x=k-------> 2/4=1/2------> k=(1/2)
y=(1/2)x-------> in this case the value of y is one-half of the value of x
therefore
the solution is the case c) see the attached figure
